      Your neighborhood bodega is no longer a place merely for late-night Hot Cheeto runs. With more local stores wanting in on the growing market of health-conscious consumers, we’re seeing trending health food products like seaweed snacks and CBD lining the shelves of our local bodega cat hangout. Below is a list of our favorite one-stop shops from around the country, offering some of the healthiest fare along with the convenience of your local corner store. 

      1. The Goods Mart - NY and LA
